4. Using WAPT with the Command Line¶

The WAPT Agent provides a command line interface utility wapt-get.

Note

By default, command-line actions in WAPT are executed with the rights of the user who launched the cmd.exe.
If the cmd.exe has not been launched with Local Administrator privileges, the command will be passed on to the waptservice.
For security reasons, some actions will require a login and a password.
Only Local Administrators and members of the waptselfservice Active Directory security group are allowed.
To force using the WAPT service as a Local Administrator, simply add -S after wapt-get.exe.

Note

Each commands that takes a package name as a parameter can also take the unique package_uuid of the package as a parameter (wapt-get install, wapt-get forget, etc.). Using a GUID allows to specify a unique package without ambiguity on its architecture or version. The package_uuid is listed in the output of wapt-get list and wapt-get search. For example:

4.1. Using the more common functions in WAPT with the command line¶

4.1.1. wapt-get install¶

The wapt-get install command launches the installation of a WAPT package.

To install Mozilla Firefox, the command is wapt-get install tis-firefox.

It is possible to install several packages at once:

wapt-get install package1 package2

If the package has not been downloaded to cache, wapt-get install will first download the package to cache, then the WAPT Agent will install the package.

Attention

Installing a WAPT package with wapt-get install does not add the package as a dependency to the host.

The package is installed on the host, but if the computer is re-imaged, the package will not be reinstalled automatically.

The command wapt-get install tis-firefox returns:

4.1.2. wapt-get update¶

The wapt-get update command allows to update the list of available packages.

The local WAPT Agent will download Packages file from the private repository and compare it to its local database.

If new updates are available, the WAPT Agent switches the packages status to TO-UPGRADE.
If new software titles have been added on the repository, they become available for download by the WAPT Agent.

Note

The wapt-get update command does not download packages, it only updates the local database of packages.

The command wapt-get update returns:

Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
Update package list from https://srvwapt.mydomain.lan/wapt, https://srvwapt.mydomain.lan/wapt-host

4.1.3. wapt-get upgrade¶

The command wapt-get upgrade launches the installation of WAPT packages waiting to be upgraded or waiting to be installed.

The local WAPT Agent first downloads its WAPT packages to the local cache, then the WAPT Agent installs them.

Hint

It is strongly advised to launch a wapt-get update command before launching a wapt-get upgrade command.

Without previously launching a wapt-get update, the WAPT Agent will install nothing.

The command wapt-get upgrade returns:

Installing tis-mumble
Shutting down Mumble
installing Mumble 1.2.3

=== install packages ===
tis-mumble

4.1.4. wapt-get remove¶

The wapt-get remove <package name> command removes the listed WAPT packages from the host.

The command takes one argument, the name of the WAPT package or a list of WAPT packages with the repository prefix.

To remove Mozilla Firefox, the command is wapt-get remove <prefix>-firefox.

Attention

Removing a WAPT package with wapt-get remove does not remove the package dependency on the host.

The package will effectively be uninstalled from the host, but it will automatically be reinstalled on the next upgrade.

To completely remove a package from a host, do a wapt-get remove for the targeted package, then edit the host configuration via the WAPT Console to remove the package dependency on the host.

The command wapt-get remove tis-firefox returns:

Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
Removing tis-firefox ...

Waiting for the removal of key key Mozilla Firefox 94.0.1 (x64 en-US) from Windows registry
=== Removed packages ===
  tis-firefox

4.1.5. wapt-get uninstall¶

The wapt-get uninstall [<package name>] command uninstalls the listed packages from the host if a def uninstall() function exists in the setup.py files of the listed packages.

The command takes one argument, the name of the WAPT package or a list of WAPT packages with the repository prefix.

Attention

Running the uninstall package function does not delete the cached package on the host.

The command wapt-get uninstall tis-adwcleaner returns:

Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
 Uninstalling tis-adwcleaner ...
 None
 Uninstallation done

4.1.6. wapt-get forget¶

The wapt-get forget <package name> command removes the package from the local database so that the lifecycle of the software title or the configuration is no longer managed by WAPT.

The command takes one argument, the name of the WAPT package or a list of WAPT packages with the repository prefix.

Attention

Forgetting the WAPT package does not uninstall the software title or the configuration associated with the WAPT package.

The command wapt-get forget tis-adwcleaner returns:

Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini

=== Packages removed from status ===
  tis-adwcleaner

4.1.7. wapt-get audit¶

The wapt-get audit [<package name>] command runs the audit function for the listed packages if a def audit() function exists in the setup.py files of the listed packages.

The command takes one argument, the name of the WAPT package or a list of WAPT packages with the repository prefix.

Also, the wapt-get audit ALL command runs the audit function for all packages installed on the host.

The command wapt-get audit tis-firefox returns:

Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
Auditing tis-firefox ...
Auditing tis-firefox
OK: Uninstall Key Mozilla Firefox 94.0.1 (x64 en-US) in Windows Registry.
